It's not an empirical claim if you have literal examples of how badly "communism" (self-serving oligarchy) has failed.
I'll start with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. And I hope I don't even need to point out what Mao did to China.

Trump did that stupid "thumbs up" thing again at Arlington while posing for pictures with the families. He always does that at the most inappropriate time and place.
Exactly where do you think you ARE, Donald? You're not opening a mall. It's like someone playing a kazoo at a funeral.
If anyone cares to read "Project 2025," it's a blueprint for creating a Judge Dredd universe, where the only people still living in it will be the Super Rich and the Super F*cking Poor.
That's a bad thing, by the way.
It's not the BB gun that got the kid killed. He literally put the gun on the ground and had his hands up.
It's because the "security guard" is a stupid, trigger-happy moron.
Yeah, subby. We get it. "Both sides are bad." But one side is boring corporatists who don't give a crap and the other side is 100% concentrated evil fascists, authoritarians and religious nutjobs. And while that's a choice between the lesser of two evils, it's not a difficult one.
It's not about the gays vs straights or blacks vs whites or the Romulans vs The Federation. It's about the billionaires vs everybody else. It's a class war. It aways has been. And life is never going to improve for most of us until we figure out where the REAL source of our pain comes from. Like George Carlin once said:
"That's the way the ruling class works in any society. They keep the lower and middle classes fighting with each other so that they . . . the rich . . . can run off with all the f*cking money."
This is exactly the kind of economy I would expect out of billionaires who are trying to destroy the middle class and bring back Company Towns. This is what 19th century robber-baron capitalism looks like, not the kind you were taught by Elmer Fudd.
How about we ban companies like Blackstone from buying up all the auction homes, lightly flipping them and then putting them back on the market as overpriced rentals?
They're a big reason for our housing shortage.
Looking at companies like Blackstone, who buy up houses at auction, lightly flip them and put them back on the market as high-priced rentals. THEY'RE the big reason for the lack of affordable housing.
I love that whenever something really awful happens to you, they try to justify it by saying, "God never gives you more than you can handle."
I know people who have been driven batsh*t insane by what God has given them.
If God suddenly appeared and said, "I have returned and I am very displeased!" and then he made all the televangelists and MAGAs burst into flames, I would say, "huh. I guess I was wrong."
I don't need much convincing.
Stop simping for billionaires. It's embarrassing to watch.
